Gaz Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 YEAP i know It all equals fukn expensive. Most speedo gauges are in MPH. VDO do a mint KPH one but are even more more more expensive. Im doing what you said but with smiths gauges, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yea i realise it agonna be expensive as im going all autometer c2 series..however just needed to know the legalities behind it? I take it that its ok to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durty Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 whats the deal with odometers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYKOV6 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 pretty sure the odo has to work for a wof. autometer speedos have an odo . dont think cause they are in mph would make a differance. alot of olschool cars have mph speedos eg early mk1 eskys and capris and cortys ya just gotta remember that 30mph is 50km and 100mph is loss of lisence and car impounded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L0WMK2 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 are you going to keep the dash looking as much original as you can or change it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Dash will stay the same..just the bit where the gauges are are changing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 was thinking the same thing on my but with smiths gauges. Wanted to stay oldschoolish. VDO do some mean as oldschool styled gauges. Real expensive tho. maybe have a look at them, suit the era of car nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
